Yummy men in uniform

Today morning, I witnessed a fire. I was right there. Because of my dying need to blog about this, I'm gna be late meeting the boys later. Doing Esplanade baby! Before Mud leaves for Melbourne... Anyway yes. I was at work. (Yes, I finally got one) at SATS Cafe as a cashier which is easy job and not bad money. Heh. Seriously. How hard can pressing buttons be!?

(SATS is some cargo airport place thing so only people with a card can enter. Which is great cos it means I wont be bumping into any of you there!)

I was about to head home already, since I do the evening-night shift. The staff people exit by the lift at the back. This Chinese cook was "playing with fire". You know, Chinese restaurants and their humongo fire? Yes. Then he went to the sink and kinda left the fire as it is. Then the fire got bigger. AND HE PANICKED AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID! He put water on the wok. I mean sheesh. Oil on fire and you add water!? That just spells BIGGER FIRE.

But I dont blame him. I mean, I guess if I were in his shoes, the first thing that comes to mind would be water to put out the fire. So the fire just grew twice as big and it's like (trying to think of something visual to compare with)- Okay got it. The fire was about a metre high on the wok so it was really huge and threatening.

Then the aluminium foil thing at the top of the stove caught fire and drops of it were dripping. Yeah, the fire was that hot till it got melted almost instantaneously. I stood fixed there cos hey, this is good (scary) drama early in the morning. Also because the Kaypoh Auntie in me insisted so.

Not only did the aluminium foil thing caught fire, the dude got scared so he added more water! And then I could see the fire spreading at the top. You know those suction thing that links all the food stall's stove thing together. Okay, describing is hard. You know how some buildings.. I know! Prison break! You know how we're able to easily remove the ceiling? That thing caught on fire and within seconds it spread to the other stalls and then suddenly I heard this Makcik shouting about how the aluminium thing is dripping on their sink.

Damn drama, I know. It was like right out of a movie man.

Then the Indian cook from the stall at the other end came to the rescue and he was really all hero-ish. He jumped up and used some kitchen utensil thing to hit the aluminium thing to the floor. Yes the thing was on fire. Damn brave right. I must say I'm impressed by his proactive-ness.

Then the security guards in the building arrived and got out the fire extinguisher. They switched off the lights so it'd be easy to spot the fire. Eh I helped okay. After they sprayed several times, the thing above the stove was still on fire. But the fire was visible only for like a fraction of a second. And the guy missed it. So I went "OMG OMG OMG uncle! There's still fire! THERE! Omg hurry hurry HURRY!!!"

Then one guard was talking on his walky talky and mentioned something about how the firemen are on their way. And I blurted out (tactlessly, shit I know) "Huh. You mean they're not here yet!? That's slow." Stupid right. Like they're trying their best there. Stupid mouth.

But I doubt the guard heard me. I mean yeah, in the midst of the chaos you'd totally be paying attention to your audience. (Audience was really small actually. Only "exclusive" staff got to see it.)

So we all got shooed out to the canteen area where it was filled completely with smoke! Throat, eyes and nose very itchy, yo. So I sat down wondering how am I going to leave the building considering the "staff lift" is inside and all..

And then the firemen came. Omg. They were so hot lah please. I mean, I like the idea of men in uniform (except no, never in the context as an NPCC cadet cos then it'd mean that they are of some rank one way or another and um. Yah. You simply wont visualise the image as hot in any way. Of course there are exceptions still..). I just didnt expect them to be so whoa. I mean they entered the cafeteria all serious looking with all that gear and the built.. and. Wow. I was one happy girl. (;

With the right guy in uniform, it's pretty darn sexy! Dont disagree lah. You lose, I win.

And btw, by hot, I mean Aaron Aziz/Allan Wu kinda looking people which I think is quite a lot to ask for local men. It was all good. But I didnt get to see them in action! Cos we were shooed out of the kitchen already.

We were told that we could use the lift used by the SATS staff. At the ground floor, when I got out, I was greeted by a sight of another guy in uniform. HAHAH. I'm sucha lucky girl. This time, it was a policeman. Hehehe. He was all serious too which just upped the appeal, thank you.

Oh did you know that there's this AES (Airport Emergency Service) group of people who, yeah, cater to emergencies at the airport?

Okay so yes. That's basically my experience. Now I need to bathe and get out asap. Die. Not gna make it. Darn.
